Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day novel Chapter 48

Chapter 0048 

Faced with his tender yet domineering words, Madison found herself without the ability to speak, unsure of where to even begin. 

Her own affairs were unsettled; what could she possibly say? 

Ethan, a man of action and business, noted the silent dilemma etching Madison’s face. 

“Focus on your work. We’ll talk about the future when it comes.” 

He offered Madison a way out. 

“I’m feeling a bit unwell; I’ll rest up. Knock on the door if you need anything.” Ethan stood and walked toward the bedroom door. 

Just before closing it, he added, “Or knock on the wall, that works 

too.” 

So the proximity was just for convenience in case of need? 

Madison hardly slept that night. 

So much so that when she arrived at the gates of the USCS the next day, she was still in a foggy state of mind. 

Outside the USCS. 

“Go ahead.” 

Ethan stayed true to his word and accompanied her, not just that, he personally drove her, with her in the passenger seat. 

Madison stepped out of the car and had barely reached the USCS entrance when another car pulled over.

Lucas, clutching his left eye, strode toward her and immediately accused, “You really are heartless, aren’t you? Inciting your new man to gang up against me, right? You must’ve been cheating all along, how else could you agree to the divorce so readily?” 

Even now, Lucas failed to recognize his own faults. 

Madison looked at the well-dressed figure before her and could only think how the once calm and gentle image was gone forever. 

Once love fades, the rose-colored glasses shatter, leaving nothing but the stark reality. He seemed repulsive, utterly revolting. 

Madison took a step back, her voice steady, “Lucas, you really are disgusting.” 

“What did you say?” 

“Are you deaf? Can’t you hear what I said?” 

Suddenly, Madison stepped forward, her formidable aura resurfacing, “The cheater was you, the one who abandoned for a mistress was you, the one who squeezed everything from his wife for his mistress was you. Even during the coo period, you wanted me to help with your work. And you probably me to leave the marriage without a penny, right?” 

“What do I matter to you anyway? By what right do you question. 

me?”

Madison couldn’t help but point at a passing dog by the roadside, laughing coldly, “You’re even less than that.” 

Lucas was taken aback by this version of Madison. 

He always knew her as a woman who was submissive and dutiful, a woman who never talked back to him. 

But now, everything had changed.

Lucas was convinced that Madison must have found someone else, which emboldened her. 

As the cooling-off period ended, they just had to stick with the divorce to proceed. 

When Lucas and Madison sat in that place again, unlike a month ago, Madison was utterly calm, even eager to get the proceedings over with. 

The clerk worked quickly, sensing Madison’s urgency, and in moments, two maroon divorce certificates lay before them. 

Madison snatched hers without a second glance at Lucas and stood to leave. 

As Lucas clutched his divorce certificate, a mix of resentment, anger, and oblivious regret spread within him. 

He felt that once Madison walked away, he might never see her 

again. 

“Madison, I…” 

Just as she stepped through the USCS door, one foot out, her arm were seized by two men. 

Lucas caught her left arm, and the man outside held her hand firmly, along with the divorce certificate. 

Under both their stunned gazes, Ethan pulled the certificate from her hand and slipped it into his suit pocket. 

He glanced at Lucas, his expression far from friendly, before looking down to ask, “Will you come with me?” 

The question was laden with respect and an immense sense of 

power.

As if to say: Just nod, and no one can stop me from taking you away. Madison’s eyes held a restrained glimmer. 

After all, divorce is a significant matter, even though her heart had died, it wasn’t without impact 

Lucas, still clinging on, challenged, “Madison, you can just forget everything we had?” 

Ethan waited in silence, giving her time. 

After four or five seconds, Madison yanked her hand free. 

Both men seemed to freeze, hardly beleving what had just happened. 

As Lucas stared at his empty palm, then at the undivided hands of the man and woman before him, he felt a pang of regret. 

His relationship with Sophia had soured; she was temperamental, constantly complained, obsessed with money, neglected the ho and never cared to visit his ailing parents. 

Lucas increasingly appreciated Madison. 

But it seemed it was too late 

Ethan, whose hand hadn’t been shaken off, felt his heart skip. 

He then pulled Madison behind him more firmly and announced, From now on, Mr. Zhuo has nothing to do with…” 

He glanced back at her,
